Bills

Should Cassel win the starting job, Carucci expects the Bills to sign him to a contract extension. However, Cassel has reportedly struggled this offseason, so he’ll really need to show improvement for this to even be an option.

Carucci mentions that Cassel’s struggles through the offseason “raise some legitimate questions about whether he will be on the roster if he isn’t starting.”

The fact that Cassel carries a cap figure of $4.75 million hurts his chances of being retained as a backup. .

Buccaneers

Pat Yaskinskas can see the Buccaneers adding another “five or six” players with the No. 1 overall waiver claim before the start of the season.

If Doug Martin can put together a great 2015 season, Yaskinskas thinks the chances of the Bucs re-signing him are pretty good.

Yasinskas expects the Buccaneers to start Logan Mankins left guard, Evan Smith at center and Demar Dotson at right tackle with rookies Donovan Smith and Ali Marpet handling left tackle and right guard if they prove to be up to it in training camp.
